One of the reasons that cause collapse buildings is deficient short columns, which need to be retrofitted prevent building in a potential earthquake. External reinforced concrete (RC), steel plates, and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) jacketing are standard retrofitting methods retrofit columns increase their shear capacity. However, compression failure, effectiveness FRP quite limited due prema...

Glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcements are useful alternatives to traditional steel bars in concrete structures, particularly vertical structural elements such as columns, they less prone corrosion, and impart increasing strength endurance of buildings. There is limited research on the finite element analysis (FEA) behavior hollow glass reinforced (GFRPRC) columns. The portion can...

Many factors affect the earthquake vulnerability of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, constituting a large part existing building stock. Short column in RC structures is one reasons for damage. Significant damages may occur due to brittle fractures structural elements when shear resistances are exceeded under effect high stress short columns formed architectural and topographic reasons. This...

There are only limited studies that directly correlate the increase in reinforced concrete (RC) panel structural capacities in resisting the blast loads with different RC panel structural properties in terms of blast loading characteristics, RC panel dimensions, steel reinforcement ratio and concrete material strength. In this paper, numerical analyses of dynamic response and damage of the one-...

Several studies have looked at the development of hinge models to simulate hysteretic response flexure- and shear-critical reinforced concrete (RC) beam-column components from damage initiation onset gravity collapse. However, few been conducted develop similar for older type bond-critical components. First, using existing experimental data, this paper describes calibration simple efficient ine...

seismic performance and loss assessment studies for stock of buildings are generally based on representative models due to extremely large number of vulnerable buildings. the main problem is the proper reflection of the building stock characteristics well enough by limited number of representative models. this study aims to provide statistical information of structural parameters of turkish bui...

To explore the possibilities and benefits of using CFRP (Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers) in strengthening RC building columns, quasi-static tests (compression bending) were carried out at Institute Earthquake Engineering Seismology - IZIIS, Skopje by variation concrete class, reinforcement percentage various technologies. Some recommendations outcomes regarding approach, technology conclusion...
